Novel research pinpoints a “peak” age range when men and women are most vulnerable to post-traumatic stress disorder, according to a study in the Annals of General Psychiatry. Looking at more than 6,500 patients involved in previous studies on the disorder, researchers found that women are most vulnerable between ages 51 and 55, while men’s age of heightened prevalence is 41 to 45. The condition, researchers say, is twice as common in women as men regardless of age.
